Review
Just occasionally, a new collection of poetry appears that makes you recalibrate your scale of judgement, makes you realise that what you had counted as good was merely mediocre. Such a work is
Hare Soup by Dorothy Molloy. --
New Statesman on
Hare SoupSlippage between the quotidian and the nightmarish is characteristic of Molloy's poetry, which throughout this new collected volume is rooted in the visceral pains and pleasures of human experience, even as it is chimerical and outlandish in its imagery. --
Times Literary SupplementThe Poems of Dorothy Molloy rescues jewels that would otherwise be lost and complements the wonderful - as in full-of-wonder - work included in the first three volumes. Ultimately, this new book brings her back to us. Her voice still audible. Her vision still relevant. -- Irish Times
